So, to make things as clear as possible it is helpful for me to provide some basic specs. With this in mind it should be fairly comparable to many other cards out there under upgrade scrutiny. While it handles these programs well enough It is getting long in the tooth and probably won’t be found on the shelves in many good computer stores (bricks and mortar or online). I will be using my own current graphics card as a reference point throughout. This will help you cut through the marketing and give you a much better understanding of just what you’re looking at when examining card specs. If you are interested in getting into the nitty-gritty then this article at EnthusiastPC will be invaluable – clarifying many technical elements in a concise and easy to read manner. If getting the absolute best value is a high priority than benchmarks are a very good tool.Throughout this article I will make reference to several benchmark comparisons performed by Tom’s Hardware. In some cases card specs can be down-right misleading.
It is enough to say that just reading details such as RAM and GPU clock speeds, memory bandwidth etc is not always the full story. Even determining the best specific variant of a particular model requires a good deal of technical knowledge, and goes far beyond what I am able to cover here, which is intended as a general guide. I will make the disclaimer up front that ensuring the absolute best performance for your dollar is an incredibly time consuming task.
Getting The Full Story Is A Technical Business We’ll also take a look at GPU based rendering and what works best with Octane and LuxRender. Generally I’m happy with how my system handles DAZ Studio 4, Poser Pro 2014, and LightWave 11, but once you’ve been bitten by with the upgrade bug… Anyway, in this article we will focus on what sort of graphics card is best for recent versions of DAZ Studio and Poser. While I was digging up the info to expand the life of my ailing card I had a good look at what’s out there, and now I feel like I’ve opened something akin to Pandora’s Box. A total flush of over 4 years of accumulated driver leftovers and a fresh install of the latest batch seems to have calmed the issue somewhat, though not entirely. My graphics card, a much neglected AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5770, recently alerted me that a replacement might be an imminent requirement.
